TACLOBAN CITY – Tingog party-list on Monday, Sept.29, denounced the circulation of fabricated online posts falsely attributed to Rep. Yedda Romualdez, calling them a deliberate attempt to mislead the public and damage her reputation.
In an official statement, the group said the misleading content appears to be spread by “paid pages and coordinated operators” engaged in disinformation campaigns.
“These claims are false and purely fabricated,” the statement read. “We will not tolerate efforts to pollute public discourse with disinformation.”
Tingog urged the public to rely only on verified and official sources of information and to reject pages and accounts that “weaponize falsehoods” for political or personal gain.
The party-list also reaffirmed its commitment to upholding truth and accountability, vowing to push back against fake news and smear efforts aimed at discrediting its representatives.
